8509 Belief in a pre-life in a must-state....

May 26, 1963: Book 89

No man possesses the recollection of a stage of his previous life in the must state, and that is why also the knowledge about it is little credible to men; they certainly take note of it, but they cannot bring the previous states into connection with their earth life as man and are far more inclined to reject all this knowledge. And thus the forthcoming new banishment is also not credible to them and cannot frighten or induce them to change their life and strive for their spiritual perfection.... But neither can evidence be given to people that they have already lived on this earth for eternal times and are now in the last stage of their development.... Because their perfection is to take place in completely free will, but proofs would mean a compulsion on the will. Nevertheless I do not let up to again and again supply men with that knowledge, and just the unusual influx of it should already be considered as small proof to men that knowing powers are at work, which take care of men in their lack of knowledge and want to give them enlightenment.... And people only needed to think about the meaning and purpose of creation and the meaning and purpose of their own walk on earth.... Then also the knowledge about the course of their souls through creation would be much more believable to them and would rather make them happy than frighten them that they now have moved into the last form as man to also once become free from this and to have ended their course on earth. But men cannot be put into a degree of knowledge against their will, i.e., a love life is necessary for it to be able to reach a degree of knowledge. And the human being cannot be forced into love, therefore knowledge cannot be conveyed to them as long as the precondition is not fulfilled.... And again he has to be taught how important it is to fulfil the commandments of love, and this can only ever happen on the part of a fellow human being who possesses knowledge himself and wants to pass it on in love.... thus their cooperation is absolutely necessary, and I bless you as soon as you offer your services to Me, for I need you to instruct your fellow human beings in accordance with the truth.... Whenever the opportunity presents itself you should call upon Me in spirit and ask for My blessing, then your work will not be unsuccessful either.... And when only an impulse is given to men, which causes them to think, then he already enters the right way and can be continued on the part of their leaders, to whom they are entrusted during earth life. It is only ever a matter of making the human being think about himself and his actual purpose, about his relationship with his God and Creator from eternity.... It is only a matter that he does not only walk on worldly ways but once also enters the spiritual way, i.e., that his thoughts are not only worldly directed but deal with his actual purpose of earth life, which always means a change into the spiritual kingdom, which can be exceedingly beneficial. You men will certainly find far more rejection, and still you are to try again and again and point out to fellowmen to the creations around them, which prove a God, whose power let them come forth, and it is to be explained to them what creation actually is.... that your soul has gone through all these creations in small and smallest particles and that also all these creations in endless long time will likewise go the last course as man over earth.... You will certainly only rarely find belief, and still this description can stimulate fellowmen to think, and then already much is won, because such thoughts will then no longer leave them, because they can more and more observe world events and the more and more frequent destructions of earthly matter, which can also take place naturally. You men, who yourselves were already introduced into this knowledge, you can be beneficially active among your fellowmen, if you inform them of it, even if you find no faith..... Especially in the last days this knowledge is still to be spread, because for every unbelieving human being there is the danger that he will be granted the same fate again which he has long since overcome.... that he will be begotten again into the creation of the new earth, which, however, does not mean a 'transmigration of souls', instead, your soul will be dissolved again, and its course of development will take an infinitely long time again until it has once again attained maturity in order to be allowed to take the last test of will in the human being on earth.... You unbelieving men are in danger to fail, and that is why this warning is to be given to you that you have to take a lot upon yourselves again, which lies behind you, and you are to believe in it and willingly accept the teachings, which are given to you to turn this dreadful lot away from you. Just kindle love in yourselves, and truly, you will be able to believe and also change your way of life; you will eagerly strive to still fulfil your earth task, for you are able to do everything if you fulfil the commandments of love.... Then you will lack neither strength nor knowledge, and then you will also listen to My messengers and follow them on the right path which leads upwards, towards the right goal.... into your father's house....

Amen
